No one has ever said anything about it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4/page/2#post-884998 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:26:35 +0000 plantains 884998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love comics and adore Supes, but Kal-El is up there with North West IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4/page/2#post-884992 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:23:32 +0000 rachiecakes 884992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I think you should go with what you love.<br /> Kal-El is a name that was invented for the comic series where Logan, or Clark or Kent, are pretty classic names that just happen to be used for super heroes. I actually think both are really cool. I'm kind of a comic book nerd &amp; love super hero names. I love Kevin Smith's daughter's name: Harley Quinn! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4/page/2#post-884982 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:20:31 +0000 cmomma17 884982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: big superman fan? :) I like it with the hyphen personally. And I think kids could be teased for ANY name, even "normal" ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4/page/2#post-884970 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:15:17 +0000 Adira 884970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I LOVE the name Logan, but Hubs totally associates it with Wolverine. And I think, no matter what you do, your kid is going to get picked on for their name. I have a very NORMAL name, but kids still found ways to change it to make fun of me. So your kid is going to have to deal with that whether they are named Matthew or Kal-El! So go with what you love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4/page/2#post-883336 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 14:14:59 +0000 mrs. bird 883336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: loooove Logan! But you should name your LO what the two of you want. You don't need to justify it to anyone. Your baby, your rules! I think people were just giving their gut reactions because you asked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4/page/2#post-883318 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 14:12:31 +0000 looch 883318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I generally don't think that names have to be meaningful to be used by parents, I just think that names should be easy to pronounce, spell and sound good with the last name. </p> <p>You can give your kid a name like Jack and he can still be called "dopey" or "superman" by his friends, depending on his actions/behavior.</p> <p>I personally wouldn't choose the name for my son, but he's also named after a TV character, just not an obvious one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4/page/2#post-883217 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 13:54:39 +0000 cyndistar3 883217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I don't see the issue since people are giving girls boy names and boys girl names now! I guess I have lots of time to think about it since I am not even prego haha!</p> <p>Another question, what is it that kids are going to make fun of? That it is a weird name or that it is superman's real name because our other name is Logan and lord forbid he gets made fun of because he is named after wolverine :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4/page/2#post-883183 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 13:47:45 +0000 lamariniere 883183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like it.

I also just don't like the way it sounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882912 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 13:02:05 +0000 matador84 882912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't seen Superman, so I didn't know of the reference. I think it would cause a lot of annoying explanation throughout life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882895 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 12:59:20 +0000 chopsuey 882895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nicolas Cage and his wife named their son that I think..<br /> It's too much for me personally! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882891 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 12:58:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 882891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a little too out there for me, but if you like it go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882876 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 12:57:02 +0000 luckypenny 882876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too out there for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882623 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 12:02:00 +0000 loveisstrange 882623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, not a fan.

Which I think is a beautiful boys name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882567 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:51:12 +0000 DillonLion 882567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a fan.

(Without the hyphen). I didn't know about the Superman or Nicolas Cage stuff though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882485 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:30:11 +0000 kjpugs 882485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not my favorite, but it might be cute if his name is Kal-El and he goes by Kal. Or middle name Kal-El? It just doesn't flow well to me to be a good first name. Have a girl named Kallie Eleanor HAHA :) She can be Kal El for short! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882473 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:25:31 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 882473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't do it because I'd worry that my kid would be teased for being named after Superman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882471 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:25:14 +0000 mrs. bird 882471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not my cup of tea, but that doesn't mean if the two of you like it you shouldn't use it. He could go by Kal if he wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882451 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:21:33 +0000 Adira 882451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you might be better off naming him Clark. :) But of course, name him whatever you and your husband love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882448 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:21:14 +0000 tysonja 882448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmm well i think i personally wouldn't name my son after superman, but i think without the hyphen 'kalel' is vastly better! it's a lovely sounding name for sure, though! :) </p> <p>i personally didn't know this was superman's name before he became clark, so i wouldn't have blinked an eye if others hadn't mentioned it! :) i'm sure there are others out there like me! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882445 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:20:09 +0000 MamaMoose 882445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get the Superman or Nic Cage association but I'm still not really a fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882435 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:17:57 +0000 skibobrown 882435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Isn't that from superman? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882433 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:17:49 +0000 HLK208 882433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every time I say it aloud (I just did like 5 times lol) it kind of sounds like a stutter :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-4#post-882404 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:10:22 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 882404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like it.
